Return to the American Revolution in this blistering conclusion to the middle grade Seeds of America trilogy.

As the Revolutionary War rages on, Isabel and Curzon have narrowly escaped Valley Forge—but their relief is short-lived. Before long they are reported as runaways, and the awful Bellingham is determined to track them down. With purpose and faith, Isabel and Curzon march on, fiercely determined to find Isabel’s little sister Ruth, who is enslaved in a Southern state—where bounty hunters are thick as flies.

Heroism and heartbreak pave their path, but Isabel and Curzon won’t stop until they reach Ruth, and then freedom, in this grand finale to the acclaimed New York Times bestselling trilogy from Laurie Halse Anderson.

I like this book. The cover is very creative and the condition was good. The book itself is wonderful and it revealed some of the atrocities committed during the war. Its a wonderful book but make sure you read Chains and Forge before you read this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great ending!
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
This was a wonderful ending to the trilogy of books about two slaves fighting a war for their freedom during the American Revolution. It follows two young slaves Curzon and a girl he affectionately calls Country. It is a book that calls into question how blurry the lines were during this war. It also calls into question the irony that many were fighting for their "freedom" from the British when many people fighting owned slaves or were fighting alongside those that didn't have "freedom". As a slave it was hard to tell who to fight with or what they were fighting for. Very thought provoking and well written two needful book for middle schoolers and beyond.

My tween had to read the first book in this trilogy for school so, I picked it up to see what it was about, really enjoyed it and bought all three. I found this story very engaging and it held my interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is beautifully written, an exciting page-turner
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017

This historical novel, the last of the trilogy, shows the ending of the Revolutionary War and reunites the characters. It is beautifully written, an exciting page-turner, a flowering romance, and a descriptive view of the chaos of war. The Appendix holds a wealth of historical information. As a word lover, I enjoyed the Glossary. I hope middle graders and their teachers will enjoy reading ASHES as much as I did and gain insights and knowledge about this great historical event that are not sugar-coated and that paint slavery for what it was, a stain on our democracy.
